EVERYTHING COUNTS

It amazes me to see how many people:

- Listen to nasty music and think it won't affect them.

- Watch bad images and think they will not be impacted by them.

- Lie, cheat, and steal and think that it will not undermine their
reputation.

- Are late, unprepared and apathetic and think that it will not
impact their income potential.

- Make excuses and blame others for their sorry state and think
that it serves a useful purpose.

- Surround themselves with a lousy reference group and think that
they will not become just like them.

- Gossip about and criticize other people and think that it does
not demonstrate a lack of character.

- Expose their mind and soul to behavioral indecencies and really
think that it will not negatively impact their results.

These people are delusional if they think that’s the case.

UNFORTUNATELY, far too many are OVER-EXPOSED to these behavioral
indecencies which add absolutely no value to their lives.

In fact, by remaining exposed to these indecencies, they are in
effect digging a grave which they may never climb out of.

THE SOLUTION

You must never forget that your mind thinks about what it is
exposed too.

Therefore, consciously give serious and consistent exposure to
whatever is:

- True

- Noble

- Right

- Pure

- Lovely

- Admirable

If anything is excellent or praiseworthy—expose yourself
accordingly.

YOUR TWO-STEP CHALLENGE

Your challenge each and every day is twofold:

Step 1. Expose yourself to new ideas, to stimulating conversation,
to positivity, to good—honorable people, to quality music, to
healthy food, and...anything that is virtuous.

Step 2. Expose other people to your good character, sound judgment,
and to your helpful nature. You must expose people to the example
you want emulated in society.

You must consistently expose yourself, your children, employees and
friends to world-class ideas.

Congress Approves Extension of the Homebuyer Tax Credit Closing Deadline

Congress approved late Wednesday an extension to the June 30 closing deadline for the home buyer tax credit, hours before it was set to expire. The move will give would-be buyers who signed a purchase agreement by April 30 more time to close on those deals and receive the credit that is worth up to $8,000. The new deadline is Sept. 30.

The Senate approved the measure unanimously on Wednesday, one day after the provision sailed through the House of Representatives with little opposition. The President is expected to sign the measure soon.

The Senate had failed to pass the provision last week when it was included in a bigger package that would have extended jobless benefits, among other measures. On Wednesday, an effort to reinstate unemployment insurance failed, and the Senate opted to pass the tax credit provision by itself.

In recent weeks, lenders and real-estate companies have warned of bottlenecks that could lead thousands of potential buyers to miss out on the credit that they thought they were getting. The probably is particularly acute for short sales, where a lender allows a home to sell for less than the amount owed. Banks and the federal government have stepped up efforts to encourage short sales as an alternative to foreclosure, but the deals take longer to approve because they require note holders to reconcile losses.

Congress first created a tax credit for homeowners in 2008. It was extended and expanded twice during 2009. The last extension, approved last fall, said that house purchase contracts would have to be signed by April 30, and home buyers would have until June 30 to close on those sales. The extension is only good for those buyers who were under contract by April 30. Someone who signed a contract after April 30 and buys a home by Sept. 30 isn’t eligible for the tax credit.

The Senate also passed an extension of the federal flood insurance program until Sept. 30. The change is retroactive to June 1, when the program had lapsed.
